Functional MRI accurately mapped the motor cortex near a brain tumor, guiding neurosurgery. This technique correlated well with invasive mapping, improving surgical precision for brain tumor patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroimaging
  • Epilepsy

Background:

  • Brain tumors can cause focal motor seizures by affecting the motor cortex.
  • Accurate localization of the motor cortex is crucial for safe and effective surgical resection of brain tumors.
  • Traditional methods for motor cortex mapping can be invasive and time-consuming.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old male presented with focal left-hand motor seizures.
  • Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging revealed a right posterior frontal brain tumor.
  • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) successfully localized the motor cortex posterior to the tumor.

Findings:

  • fMRI data was integrated with a neurosurgical navigation system.
  • A real-time intraoperative display fused anatomical and functional imaging data.

  • The functional maps demonstrated excellent correlation with invasive electrophysiologic mapping during craniotomy.

    • Implications:

    • This integrated approach enhances surgical precision by providing real-time functional guidance.
    • fMRI-guided neurosurgery can potentially minimize damage to critical brain areas.
    • This technique offers a less invasive alternative for pre-operative and intra-operative motor cortex mapping.
